Ilford FP4 125 35mm Black/White

The Ilford FP4 125 35mm Black/White camera film is one of the best Medium Speed film you will ever find. Try to develop it with D76 1:1, and you will be blown away by the details when you make an enlargement.

There's objectively not a lot which you can say about this Ilford FP4 125 35mm Black/White camera film; because everyone's personal shooting style differs from the next. Some people even modify medium format spools on their holgas to receive 35mm film stock, so really, any review of a given film is highly contextual. I shot a test roll of this particular Ilford product in a Nikon N80/F80, in conditions ranging from a bomb shelter (4 second exposure), to overcast outdoor scenes, to direct sunlight, with and without black and white filters. Be prepared to burn this film for quite a while if you will be attaching a red 25 or deep orange to your camera rig. Sharpness was as good as i had expected from a 125 Ilford film, but that is also affected by your lens, use of tripod, quality of filters (if used), movement of subject, etc.

Basic point: This is a solid 125 film that gives you a more sensitive alternative to an Ilford ISO 50. Of course, the sensitivity comes at the price of the Ilford 50's ultra fine grain.
